Philadelphia’s top Republican election official pushed back on the Trump team’s claims of voter fraud in his city, assuring it is “totally untrue” that observers were not allowed in vote-counting rooms. On Wednesday, President Trump called out GOP election official Al Schmidt, one of three city commissioners responsible for overseeing elections. Fox News has called the presidential race for Joe Biden, but the Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in bulk across the country alleging potential mass voter fraud and procedural violations. The campaign sued this week in a bid to block Pennsylvania officials from certifying the state’s election results. In five separate court filings Wednesday, the Trump campaign claimed that officials improperly counted ballots that were missing information they state was required after officials conducted a secondary review.
